Sail Babylon Springs

Sail Babylon Springs - The Mountain Goats

Written by：John Darnielle

But meanwhile downstairs

I'm setting up shop

A little too proud

To let the matter drop

And I can hear you up there

Isn't it romantic

You're huffing and puffing rearranging

Deck chairs on the Titanic

And I reach for a glass

Of cool water drawn

From the rivers of Babylon

And meanwhile outside

The stars have come out

And the humid summer air

Pulls at the ring in my snout

And you stand at your window looking down

And I spread wide my arms

Jump if you want to jump jump if you want to

The water's warm

I know

I know 'cause I've been swimming

Blindly along

Through the rivers of Babylon
